Episode 3139: Trent’s Descent, Lowe Rides High
Three weeks ago we hailed the Amad-inspired win at Manchester City as the moment when Ruben Amorim truly became the manager of Manchester United. United promptly lost the next four games in a row. Today we hail another new dawn. Amorim really is getting his feet under the table now…
We also talk about the meteoric rise of a Premier League chairman of days gone by, sifting through current social media posts, AI slop and legacy media lies in search of a clear picture of the elusive Rupert Lowe.
Dion Fanning and Lars Sivertsen join us to analyse the weekend’s football. We need to talk about Trent (again) obviously – but we also talk about Amorim’s interesting reaction to United’s much-improved performance, the latest refereeing injustices visited upon Arsenal Football Club, and just what this Savinho guy thinks he is doing out there with Erling Haaland.
Unreal finish, unreal passion ??
